  1. This thread is weird. Huge guy kicks people's asses in amusing and entertaining ways. What's not to like? It's not like the books were MacBeth. They're all the same fucking story.
  2. I like their wine too, but who came up with that stupid brand? I mean, would you rather have "Stag's Leap," "Oak Thorn Something Something," or "Steve"?
  3. Your F-I-L sounds like a piece of shit to do that to his girls. I'd throw my sons away before I hurt my daughter.
  4. That is true. I have no respect for your parents' home. Ask your mom.
  5. This is the best part of the entire 2 Bears 1 Cave library. So fucking funny.
  6. I've had that agnolotti and it's excellent
  7. I love when people describe their own behavior as "gracious." Is she using one of Trump's old media people?
  8. Old Ebbitt Grill Joe's is close, but not casual Luke's Lobster in Penn Quarter
  9. I'd much rather stay near the Pantheon than Trastevere. Trastevere is really cool but it can be hard to get in and out of when you want to see the rest of town. The Pantheon is in the heart of everything.
  10. DC enjoyment depends almost entirely on what you do for a living, IMO. If you are plugged into the things that make the place run, it's great. If you aren't, then it's just a bunch of jabbering assholes who are drunk on their own self-importance.
  11. Agree on the botanical gardens but I really save that for when it's cold outside. It's awesome to walk into a big room of orchids in the middle of winter.
  12. Museum of Natural History is also excellent.
  13. I agree. That's also an interesting thing about the book. Most of the action sequences are alluded to.
  14. I thought it was extraordinarily well done. There were a few changes from the book I didn't really love but overall it was very faithful. I also think they picked a weird place to end but overall 4 stars.
  15. I was on a plane with Danny Glover one time. He was struggling with his carry-on and I gave him a hand with it and whispered "you're getting too old for this shit." He chuckled and said it was the only time that's ever been funny. He was very nice but I left him alone after that.
  16. You need to clothesline the fuck out of that guy
  17. Many times. If you go to Tivoli, you should see Hadrian's Villa as well. You can do a full or half day tour by bus, or take the train.
  18. Definitely three. Vatican alone is a full day, especially if you do the Scavi. Then you have major archaeological sites, including Forum, Pantheon, Colosseum, etc. When you mix in the museums you can't do that in a day. And then you have the other parts of Rome you want to see, like Spanish Steps, Villa Giulia, Trevi Fountain, etc. Even if you lump things together for convenience you can't see it all in three days.
